How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A seductive but claustrophobic portrait of innocence undone by city glamour and moral compromise. The film moves with deceptive elegance toward something quietly devastating, observing how desire and ambition corrode the bonds between men.
